News -
I'm reading this morning of continuous attacks by Putin's army on Marinka.
Either Putin wants to take this town, or he is trying to get rid of some mercenaries - maybe save some money.
Shirokino was shelled a lot this morning, but reports now say that the shelling has finally stopped.
Poro has signed the Rada resolution telling the SBU head to go. Dismissed.

Weather -
blue sky and sunshine, but cooler than last week. Perhaps 22 as a high. - 70 odd.
Comfortable.

Minsk - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 18 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty The annexation of the Crimea brings Russia to a loss of the Far East - EC

Thu Jun 18, 2015 1:31 am
The annexation of the Crimea Russia and the enormous costs of maintaining the Kremlin seized the peninsula steadily divert increasingly scarce resources of the northern neighbor. At the same time the Russian Far East comes to desolation, and becomes dependent on demographic and financial resources of the People's Republic of China.
What can cause such short-sightedness of Russia, in the near future, has analyzed the section of "Delta" group "Information resistance".

"Sacred Places"

Russia remains the largest country in the world, occupying an area of ​​over 17 million square kilometers. But in 2014 Putin this was not enough and he decided to get even "sacred place" - Crimea. As a result, more than a year, the Russian government is trying to present itself and its citizens annexation of Crimea as the greatest achievement of the Putin regime and the whole of Russia. Although fashion except dividends (within the country) Crimea Russia does not bring and unlikely to bring - only some costs.

Russian plans to increase the group's own aircraft in the Crimea peninsula will make in the near future into a huge military base. As you know, the military do not make money - they require expenditures. However, the Russian government has plans for socio-economic development of the Crimean peninsula and even illusions regarding the construction of the bridge across the Kerch Strait.

The bridge to the Crimea via the Kerch Strait at the last count is estimated at 300 billion rubles. Even at 750-790 million rubles a year will need to allocate for the maintenance of the bridge. Thus, only the implementation of the federal program and the construction of a bridge in the Crimea the Russian government for 10 years, plans to allocate from the budget of about 1 trillion rubles. And that's not counting military spending.

Places lower "sacredness"

Last year, the Russian government approved the state program of development of the Far East and the Baikal region for the years 2014-2025. The total budget allocation for the implementation of this program for 2014-2020 amounts to more than 346 billion rubles. Recall that the needs of the Crimea for 5 years allocated approximately 2 times the budget - 708 billion rubles.
It should be noted that the particular importance the Russian government assigns to attract foreign investment in the development of the Far East, in particular from China.

"Soft penetration"

May 24 at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, vice-president of China Li Yuanchao, speaking to members of the Kremlin leaders, outlined a vision of cooperation between Russia and China in the Far East: "Our cooperation is mutually reinforcing. As said our business in Russia, a vast territory, and in China most hardworking people in the world. If we can combine these factors, we obtain significant development. In Russia, a large area and few people in China - on the contrary. " Also, according to him, Russia and China may be created in the Far East, a single economic zone.

On June 11, the Chinese edition of the "People's Daily" reported that the Corporation "Zoje Resources Investment" (PRC) has confirmed the signing of its subsidiary "Huae Sinban" June 2 agreement with the Government of Trans-Baikal Territory of intent to lease for 49 years, fallow land and pasture area 115 thousand hectares for farming. According to data announced, rent fallow lands and pastures will be 250 rubles per hectare per year. In turn, China is planning to invest in agriculture in the region is about 24 billion rubles.

However, the implementation of an investment project in China connects Transbaikalia with the decision of the Russian authorities to lift the quotas on the stay of foreigners (ie Chinese) is the territory of the Russian Federation. In particular, the Chinese side is not satisfied with the existing border and migration regime in Trans-Baikal, which is seen as an obstacle for the implementation of the project the use of agricultural land in Russia.

In this regard, it seems that the priority for China will transfer its citizens to Russia for permanent residence for a period of 49 years rather than the development of agriculture, which is used as legalizatsionnoy screen. Mindful of the hard work of the Chinese, do not forget about their fertility - t.e.cherez 49 years instead of conventional subjects in 1000 in China Baikal is home to two or even four thousand hard-working people.


Chinese statement and Russian ministers indicate that the improvement of the socio-demographic situation in the Far East will take place exclusively at the expense of the Chinese people. A high-tech development in the region will be limited agriculture. At least, as long as the Chinese are their numbers will not create conditions for the urbanization of the Far East. And after 50 years, the Chinese recall Russia the right to their own history, their language and the right of nations to self-determination.
Then the question arises: should seize the Crimea, to 50 years in disgrace losing their territory larger than the area of ​​the peninsula several times. After the huge sums of money that go on looting and conditional socio-economic development of the Crimea, it could be to put to better use in the development of the Far East. And Ukraine with Crimea anywhere would not go away.

Minsk - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 18 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Lilia Shevtsova said, when the split the Russian elite

Thu Jun 18, 2015 2:29 am
If sanctions against Russia will continue, they may cause more severe cracking within the Russian elite, and possibly split.
Such an assumption was of a Russian political scientist, journalist and historian Lilia Shevtsova in an interview with "Observer" .
"Now we can observe clear signs of fear and discontent with sanctions, did not manifest in the first round of the elite, and the second and third, which belong to the people working at the Kremlin. All the elite, irrespective of the field of activity - the raw material area," Gazprom "," Rosneft "" Rosvooruzhenie, "" Russian Railways "- has developed its own way of survival and way of life" - she commented.

All of them, according to Shevtsova, receive dividends in Russia and transferred them abroad, thus forming the Russian elite community in the Western world.

"Great Britain, Sweden, Germany, Austria - I know many Russian businessmen, who live there and earn Russia a rotational basis. This elite rent, and she, of course, by the method of the pro-Western their interests, but by the process of anti-Western sources for their production survival. She wants to close the Russian society, isolate it from the West, left open the border only for themselves, "- says the analyst.

According to her, they did not want Russia's transformation into North Korea and unhappy sanctions that violate at least in part their ability to live a rotational manner.

"People associated with the West, business partnerships, Timchenko, Miller, the same Sechin, whose multi-billion dollar contract for the exploitation of new fields in Eastern Siberia and the Arctic zone has been violated because of the sanctions, of course, unhappy," - says Shevtsova.

She drew attention to the fact that the sanctions restricting Russia's debt refinancing and Russian access to world financial markets, enter into another very important point: the Russian Federation can not export technologies which can be used in the defense industry, as well as the technology needed for research and mining, limited the possibilities of export of capital, the possibility of financing public-private partnerships. That is a huge blow for raw elite.

"And if the sanctions continue, they can certainly cause more severe cracking within the elite, and possibly split. But it is too early, while the principle of loyalty and survival of the system itself and around Putin regime prevails over the desire to, shall we say, to get away from it all. And the revolt of the elites, of course, happen if further pressure will be provided, and if this pressure will cause the crisis within "- sums Lilia Shevtsova.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/EU_RUSSIA_GREECE?SITE=ILBLO&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
While his government is locked in those talks, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is traveling to Russia, his second visit since April, to meet President Vladimir Putin. Tsipras' visit has given rise to speculation that the Greeks could be seeking Russian loans.
Tsipras is traveling with four cabinet ministers and is due to arrive Thursday and stay in St. Petersburg until late Friday, when he will meet Putin.
Asked by The Associated Press whether Russia is going to offer Greece money, Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich said he "cannot comment on specific decisions."


===
Greece - the new Nazis in Europe. Refusing to repay 50 billiion borrowed from Germany alone, and now kissing dictator Putin's butt for money for themselves.
Lazy, fascist, thieves, with Ukrainian blood on their hands. = Greeks.
The absolute lowest life-forms in Europe.

Earlier this year, President Petro Poroshenko signed a law turning parts of the government-controlled areas of Ukraine's two rebellious regions — Donetsk and Luhansk — into “military-civil administrations.”
That means Moskal, a commanding figure who often speaks in a peculiar mix of Russian and Ukrainian, balances day-to-day administrative tasks with ensuring security in the heavily militarized region.

Putin has too many friends in the EU -  a member of the European Parliament (Сегодня.ua)
http://www.segodnya.ua/politics/pnews/u-putina-slishkom-mnogo-druzey-v-es-deputat-evroparlamenta-624894.html
Fear of war makes people justify the actions of the President of the Russian Federation, believes Harms
Russian President Vladimir Putin have too many friends and supporters in the European Union, so it has no need to think about a de-escalation of the conflict in the East of Ukraine. This was stated by the head of the Greens in the European Parliament Rebecca Harms in an interview Meduza portal.
"The main problem is that Mr Putin very many friends, too many support him — supported until very recently. Someone is afraid of war, such as the Germans. The Germans are pacifists, and especially against the war with Russia, and there are good reasons, "she said.
"Fear leads people to try to explain and justify all that comes from Mr Putin," said Harms.
"Among supporters of Putin many influential people, former chancellors, European Commissioners and so on. And until his false statements about Ukraine, fascists seized power in Kiev, find support in Germany, France, Great Britain, until these influential people argue that Russia's actions cost objective reasons — he need not think about leaving (the situation.-ed.), "said MEP.

Minsk - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 18 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty British expert: Russia needs a "Minsk-3" to finally destroy the independence of Ukraine

Thu Jun 18, 2015 12:07 pm
Senior Visiting Fellow of the Royal Institute of International Affairs Chatham House (UK) James Sherr said that Russia is seeking the adoption of the new Minsk Agreement, which will be spelled out in even worse conditions for Ukraine to destroy its independence. He said this in an interview with "Commander in Chief" .

"What is happening is a clear logic. First, Russia has violated the so-called agreement Minsk-1, violated the most direct and provocative way - began a massive offensive. In response, Angela Merkel, who had been committed to an extremely tough stance, did not say: "OK, now we give up its denials concerning the supply of weapons to Ukraine." Instead, she jumped at the "Minsk-2" agreement, which eventually turned out to be even worse than the "Minsk-1". And it sent a clear signal to the Kremlin that if you click on them to break the agreement, they will go for another big concessions. And we have seen what happened at Marinka. This is a great violation of the agreements ", - said Sherr.

According to him, from the Russian side it was a reconnaissance in force. "This is a prelude to something big. Undoubtedly, after the "Minsk-2" Russia wants to achieve conditional Minsk-3, even the worst of the agreement (for Ukraine), and finally destroy the territorial integrity and independence of Ukraine. This is what they are doing. And the signals that they receive from the West, saying that it is quite possible ", - the expert believes.

He also said that the agreement "Minsk-2" filled with risk, uncertainty. "In fact, they secured the freezing of the conflict in Ukraine. While at first we exclude this possibility. All that will happen in the future in these occupied territories, will take place only if there is agreement on the illegal authorities ("DNI" / "LC"), which we do not recognize. If the Kremlin wants it, this situation will last forever, "- said Sherr.

He believes that "Minsk-3" is possible. "But whether it will be effective? Of course not. Quite the contrary. We all need to change the direction and substance of this policy, "- said the expert.

Minsk - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 18 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty The US and EU are going to accelerate the introduction of new sanctions against Russia

Thu Jun 18, 2015 1:10 pm
In the United States and the European Union prepared a new sanctions against Russia in case of strengthening its military aggression Ukraine and want to speed up the process of imposing sanctions. This writes The New York Times.

A new approach in the framework of the strategy of "sanctions on line" will introduce restrictions against immediate energy and financial sectors of the Russian economy.

Last resort for the most serious violations will be stiff financial penalties, including shutdown of Russian banks from the system SWIFT.

Minimum restrictions include expanding blacklist of Russian officials and businessmen who will be denied entry to the West and prohibited business practices in Western countries.

US and European officials added that the new measures will be aimed at restricting exports of Russian energy, the excommunication of Russian banks from international financial markets and the deprivation of Russian companies to conduct profitable business opportunities abroad.

Washington insists on measures against foreign "daughters" of Russian companies, as well as against the new sectors of the economy - mining and engineering, according to RBC. Restrictions in the energy sector could include sanctions against businesses engaged in gas exploration or production and installation of equipment for the production and transportation of oil shale.

The administration of US President Barack Obama noted the importance of coordination of sanctions with Europe in order to achieve the maximum economic benefit. However, the need to harmonize sanctions by all 28 EU Member States leads to delays in the process of administration. As part of the renewed strategy will be agreed in advance restrictions.

The West fears that militants in the summer and the Russian Federation can launch an attack on Kharkov, Mariupol or occupy the territory of Donetsk and Lugansk regions, which are under the control of the Ukrainian government.

Yesterday it became known that the ambassadors of the EU countries have agreed on the extension of sanctions against Russia for another six months - until the end of January 2016. They will be extended sanctions on energy, defense and financial sectors of the Russian economy. "It is expected that during the meeting of Foreign Ministers of the EU in Luxembourg on Monday, June 22 sanctions will be extended for six months, without discussion," - said a source in the EU.

Putin the uniter [ In Englsih]
http://www.economist.com/news/europe/21654663-war-has-made-most-ukrainians-see-russians-enemies-not-friends-putin-uniter
The changing mood manifests itself on Ukraine’s streets. There is a movement to boycott Russian goods: markers noting “Russian products” dot Ukrainian supermarket shelves. A sign in Kiev’s Museum of Mikhail Bulgakov (a Kiev-born writer who wrote in Russian) tells visitors who “support the military occupation of Ukraine” that they are not welcome. Not far from the Friendship Arch, vendors who once sold Soviet kitsch now tout patriotic Ukrainian wares and anti-Russian souvenirs. “The selection has changed with the people’s tastes,” says Artyom Shumilov, who sells varieties of toilet paper plastered with Mr Putin’s face at his stall in Kiev’s Andreevsky Descent.
The longer the war drags on, the more entrenched opinion becomes.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
I used to have respect for the Moscow Times, but now...
an amazingly strong anti-American article about Ukraine, which, as far as I can tell, uses the word Nazi numerous times, but doesn't mention Putin once.
But I have only skim-read it....
Is this the beginning of the end for the Moscow Times? One of the last "independent" papers in Russia?

it is possible that Ukrainian neo-Nazis will lead the next revolution.....

We are talking mega-propaganda value here. How many times can you use the word "nazi" in a paragraph?

Minsk - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 18 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty British expert James Sherr: Signatures on the "peace agreement" will not save Ukraine

Thu Jun 18, 2015 2:32 pm
Senior Visiting Fellow of the Royal Institute of International Affairs Chatham House (UK) James Sherr in an interview with "Commander in Chief" said that does not consider the peace accords really effective way to resolve the conflict in the east of Ukraine and Donbass free from Russian occupants.

"Neither the NATO countries, as Ukraine is not a member of NATO or the UN can not solve the issue of weapons of Ukraine. How then Ukraine can effectively defend themselves? "- Said the expert.

He believes that no signatures "peace agreement" will not help Ukraine. And our country must strengthen its forces to counter Russian aggression in Ukraine.

"It requires practical help not only from the West and NATO, as well as significant efforts on the part of your defensive structures. We need to create such institutions, which will be able to ensure the country's defense, including civilian agencies, "- said James Sherr.

Minsk - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 18 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Donbas is millstone around Putin’s neck, expert says

Thu Jun 18, 2015 8:44 pm
The Kremlin rulers have not decided what to do with the occupied part of Donbas, political analyst Vitali Portnikov writes in NEWSru.ua June 17.

“If the rebel leaders implement the Minsk agreements, they will pave the way to the disappearance of their breakaway republics. What will their leaders do after that? Will they get a new assignment from Moscow, like the former TransNistria leaders did moving over to Donbas?

“It is quite possible that they like their present assignment. Where else will they get such a possibility to line their pockets? Even if they go back to Russia and get lavish pensions, such rewards cannot compare with the possibilities the racket in Donbas gives them,” Portnikov says.

“They have realized in the Kremlin that Ukraine does not want the destroyed Donbas and its loss won’t kill the Ukrainian government but cause the feeling of relief.  But the paradox is that Russia doesn’t or ever wanted Donbas either.

Russia needed Donbas as a noose around Ukraine’s neck,” Portnikov says.

Minsk - Ukraine crisis. News in Brief. Thursday 18 June [Ukrainian sources] Empty Senate Passes Defense Bill Over White House Objections

Thu Jun 18, 2015 8:51 pm
The Senate voted 71-25 to approve the bill, which Obama has threatened to veto.

The bill now must be reconciled with the version passed by the House of Representatives.

Democrats have objected to the way the National Defense Authorization Act avoids congressionally mandated spending caps by pouring extra money into a war-fighting fund that is not subject to the caps.

Top Senate Democrats wrote their Republican counterparts ahead of the June 18 vote, urging the two parties to enter negotiations to end the across-the-board budget caps known as sequestration.

Obama and Democrats argue that any move to lift sequestration on the defense side should be met with similar action on domestic, nonmilitary spending.

The measure allots $300 million worth of military aide to Ukraine, including radars and antitank weapons.
